Landscape No. 25

ca. 1908–9
Not on view
Following their first meeting, in 1909, Alfred Stieglitz immediately offered Marsden Hartley an exhibition at his gallery "291," where the most avant-garde European and American artists made their American debuts. The show consisted of thirty-three landscapes of Maine, the artist's home state, including a series of fifteen paintings entitled Songs of Autumn; Landscape Number 25 likely belongs to that group. In this painting Hartley emulates the tight neo-Impressionist brushwork of the nineteenth-century Italian painter Giovanni Segantini, who he said was "the only artist who has ever put a mountain spirit on canvas."
